Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla)
Family: Hydrangeaceae
Hydrangeas are excellent landscape shrubs that are grown for their showy clusters of flowers. The size, arrangement, and color of these flower clusters vary widely among the many cultivars. Many varieties have a flower color that is affected by soil chemistry. This gives skilled gardeners control over the shades of blue, purple, pink, or white produced in their gardens.
